mmmmm, mondays: the best chocolate chips cookies ever

summertime means hours and hours of uninterrupted time with my kids. while i love spending time with them, i'm not going to pretend that they days aren't long and rough at times. i pretty much survive summer with baked goods...usually ones that involve chocolate. this week was no exception. i did share a few of these with my kids but the majority of them were my own to enjoy. they are the best chocolate chip cookies i've ever had. there is a dash of cinnamon in these that make these irresistable! enjoy!

chocolate chip cookies (the best ones ever)

1 cup butter

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 1/2 cup flour

2 cups oats

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 (12 oz.) package chocolate chips
